 The RepaintManager.currentManager() does not return the manager that
 was previously set.

The doc says:
"
public static RepaintManager currentManager(JComponent comp)

     Return the RepaintManager for the calling thread.

public static void setCurrentManager(RepaintManager aRepaintManager)

     Set the RepaintManager that should be used for the calling
     thread. aRepaintManager will become the current RepaintManager
     for the calling thread's thread group.
"

The example:
------------------------------8-<--------------------------------------------
import com.sun.java.swing.RepaintManager;

public class Test {
  public static void main(String[] argv) {
  
    com.sun.java.swing.JComponent comp = new com.sun.java.swing.JButton();
    RepaintManager c = new RepaintManager();
    RepaintManager newm = new RepaintManager();
    RepaintManager res = null;


    res = c.currentManager(comp); // Get prev. manager
         
    c.setCurrentManager(newm); // Set the manager
    res = c.currentManager(comp); // Get the manager
         
    if (res!=newm) { // verify setting
               System.out.println("The current manager is :"+res.getClass().getName()+ "@" +
                            Integer.toHexString(res.hashCode()));
               System.out.println("expected :"+newm.getClass().getName()+ "@" +
                            Integer.toHexString(newm.hashCode()));
               System.exit(0);
    }
   
   System.out.println("OKAY");
   System.exit(0);
  }
}
